Pure Sport Performance Evolved

Crest the apex of pure sport coast‑to‑coast performance with the new 5‑speed sequential shift YXZ1000R.

Top Features

The Ultimate Pure Sport SxS: Overhauled and upgraded, the YXZ1000R™ is the most focused, high-performance side-by-side in the world. For 2019, changes to nearly every system on board ensure that the YXZ® brings this level of performance to every ride, no matter the terrain, from dunes to desert, tight woods and muddy trails.

Exclusive Engine and Transmission: Unique, powerful and just as exclusive as when Yamaha unveiled the first YXZ1000R in 2015 the 2019 YXZ1000R features a high-revving, high-output inline-triple engine mated to a sequential-shift five-speed gearbox. The result is a Pure Sport driving experience unmatched by anything on the market.

High-Spec Chassis: Big engines makes headlines, but it's the chassis that does the real work. The YXZ1000R flatters its driver with one of the most agile, adjustable and capable side-by-side chassis designs ever seen in a production side-by-side.

Driver-Focused Ergonomics: Comfort is control when driving hard, and the YXZ1000R is built around this concept. The driver and passenger are kept low in the chassis, with exceptional visibility. The cabin offers roomy high-back seats with plenty of adjustability for the driver.

Yamaha Engineering: Not only does the YXZ1000R come standard with Yamaha's famous reputation for reliability, it's also assembled in the USA and engineered with a full range of factory accessory options, so that not only can you customize a YXZ1000R to your needs, you know it will meet and exceed your expectations for years to come.

New for 2019 Features

New Powertrain: The YXZ1000R proved its Pure Sport performance time and time again. For 2019, a range of enhancements push the envelope no matter where you drive. Drivers looking to tear up gnarly woods and trails will appreciate the lowered gearing with a tighter first gear, ideal for technical riding and sharper torque right off the bottom. And folks looking to blast through the desert will love the beefy new engine internals, which makes adding Yamaha's turbocharger kit easier than ever.

New Cooling System: Big power means big heat, so for 2019, the YXZ1000R uses an all-new cooling system that not only ensures proper cooling during the toughest conditions, but is designed to ensure the cabin remains comfortable and the radiator stays clear of mud and debris.

New Wheels and Suspension: To ensure the YXZ1000R is able to make the most of its roaring three-cylinder engine, the driver needs to get traction across a range of conditions, so the 2019 YXZ1000R brings updated suspension settings to control the larger 29-inch Maxxis® Bighorn® tires for exceptional grip.

Stunning, Industry-First Three-Cylinder Engine: Designed to bring a Pure Sport riding character like nothing else in the side-by-side world, the YXZ1000R engine was built to deliver high-revving power with the flexibility and character that only an inline triple can provide. With a compact, counterbalanced, DOHC twelve-valve cylinder head, an aggressive 11.3:1 compression ratio and dry-sump lubrication, the YXZ1000R engine offers jaw-dropping power, fantastic midrange torque and a thrilling 10,500 rpm redline. For 2019, new high strength connecting rods provide the durability Yamaha is known for—even under the demands of high-output modifications like turbocharging.

New Cooling System: The YXZ1000R is built to blow away the competition in every terrain, from desert dunes to muddy trails. To ensure peak performance every ride, the 2019 YXZ1000R features a new rear-mounted radiator: this system not only reduces heat in the cabin, it remains clear of mud or debris build-up, and is designed to funnel cool air through the radiator at low or high speeds equally well.

Exclusive 5-Speed Sequential Transmission: Pure Sport is not just about engine output—engaging the driver is just as important. And nothing in the side-by-side world can match the feeling of banging through the gears using the YXZ1000R's sequential 5-speed manual transmission. A beefy hydraulically-actuated clutch system is operated by a foot pedal for light, consistent feel—delivering power up to 20% more efficiently than most automatic CVTs. For 2019, the transmission also features newly optimized gearing that gives the YXZ1000R even more flexibility to handle nearly any type of trail, from wide-open desert roads to first gear crawling.

High Flow Intake and Exhaust: Any engine needs to inhale clean air and exhale as efficiently as possible. YXZ1000R's high capacity intake system features dual air filters—one oiled foam, one viscous paper—affording maximum airflow to the engine as well as durable filtration for the dirtiest riding environments. The three-into-one high-volume exhaust system centralizes weight distribution and is tuned to provide maximum power across the rev range.

Yamaha's Exclusive On-Command® 4WD: On-Command 4WD gives the driver ultimate traction, with easily selected 2WD, 4WD limited-slip, and 4WD full diff lock modes. The YXZ1000R drivetrain incorporates Yamaha's proven On- Command 4WD system to tackle the most challenging terrain. To deliver Yamaha's exceptional durability, this system also incorporates an over-torque protection system that eliminates spike loads to the front drive case on hard impacts, protecting it from damage without affecting performance.

Terrain Conquering, Fully-Adjustable FOX® Shocks: Rising defiantly through the front hood and defining the rear of the vehicle, the YXZ1000R's FOX® 2.5 Podium® RC2 Shocks with huge piggyback reservoirs bring visual impact and unmatched performance. All four corners are fully adjustable—spring preload, rebound and both high- and low-speed compression damping—with a huge 16.2 inches of front travel and 17.0 inches at the rear for exceptional ride quality, tuneability, and handling.

Powerful All-Wheel Disc Brakes: The YXZ1000R offers precise braking control thanks to twin-piston calipers clamping down on large 255mm rotors at all four wheels, for excellent braking power, feel and fade-resistance under hard use. An automotive-style parking brake lever is mounted in the cabin's center console.

Yamaha Electric Power Steering (EPS): The YXZ1000R features Yamaha's class-leading speed-sensitive EPS, for reduced steering effort and precise handling in virtually all conditions. The EPS unit is lightweight and compact, mounted high on the new rack-and-pinion steering system, further protecting it from dirt and debris.

Aggressive Style: Radical styling shows off Yamaha's passion for powersports. And form follows function, as the front suspension design permits an extremely low hood line for excellent trail visibility. For 2019, the YXZ1000R is sharper and sportier than ever.

Ergonomics Built for Performance: The YXZ1000R cab features plush, high-back seats with extra lateral support and outside shoulder bolsters, and the cockpit provides a balance of driving confidence with comfort. Shaped floorboards provide generous legroom while still giving a planted feel during aggressive driving, and both the driver's seat and steering wheel are adjustable to ensure a perfect fit.

Plush Suspension: While the high-end Fox® suspension on the YXZ1000R is primarily focused at maximizing adjustment range for aggressive riding, that same range of adjustment adds flexibility, too. With a couple of quick tweaks, the YXZ1000R can be tuned to deliver a plush, smooth ride that defies the idea that sport and comfort can't coexist.

Aggressive LED Lighting: Four super bright and long-lasting LED headlights provide brilliant forward illumination and give the YXZ1000R a sinister sense of style, with a bright LED taillight for extra visibility.

Proven Reliability: Yamaha continues to build industry-leading machines lauded for their peerless reliability and durability. The YXZ1000R features fit and finish, components and construction designed to make every ride exceptional.

300-Pound Cargo Capacity: Bring what you need thanks to a cargo rack with a 300-pound capacity. A glove box in the cab provides additional storage, as do passenger-side cup holders and a central storage tray in the dashboard.

Ready to Accessorize: Developed alongside the updated YXZ1000R are a range of new accessories, including audio options, lighting, and high-performance turbo kits—all of which come standard with the engineering expertise of Yamaha. And for 2019, the YXZ1000R is also compatible with the new Adventure Pro™, Yamaha's exclusive trail-focus GPS system.

Assembled in the USA: The YXZ1000R is proudly assembled in Newnan, GA, for world-wide distribution and is built to be Real World Tough™.
